I've never seen the appeal with Twitter either, but then again, I don't have the problem with Facebook most people do. I don't mind it for keeping up to date with my friends that I don't get to see very much and people that play games and constantly post their results, I know how to ignore them. It's pretty simple, really.

Then again, I'm one of the few the much preferred Myspace over Facebook because I loved being able to use HTML and CSS to pretty much design it how I wanted, though way too many people got out of control with this. But Facebook won out thanks to my wife being on it and I didn't want to keep updating two things.

The point is to waste bandwidth on data networks. There is no practical use for twitter.

I wouldnt say that. We use twitter as one of the ways we communicate with our students. We also let parents know of any events or what not going on at the school.

Does that work well?

Its hard to tell.

As we only use it as an extra means of communication we couldn't say for definate that a rise in attendance to a parents evening or whatever was because of twitter, but even if only 10 extra people turn up becasue of it, for the effort involved in posting a tweet, its done its job.
